This year OMII-UK is applying for the Google Summer of Code as the Software Sustainability Institute (SSI). It should also be noted that many projects including OGSA-DAI, OGSA-DMI, and GRID-SAM are coming under SSI. OMII-UK has seen many successful student projects for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, and foresees the same for this year, under the new name!

Last year I had my Google Summer of Code with OGSA-DAI (Open Grid Services Architecture - Data Access Integration), a project by The Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and National e-Science Centre Established by a consortium of departments from the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow (NeSC), which is part of OMII-UK, which has currently been evolved into SSI. It should also be noticed that EPCC and Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) are also part of Globus Alliance. Globus Alliance has also applied for Google Summer of Code 2011.
